THE ADVISORY COUNCIL The l,ew Wallace Advisory Council is one of the most beneficial groups in helping to solve various school problems. One of the chief virtues of the group is that it brings together parents, alumni, and school officials all of whom are interested in the problems of the school. Thus, vital questions may he discussed from the viewpoint of the school as well as that of the community. The Council holds monthly luncheon meetings in the school cafeteria through¬ out the school year. There are twenty-one sincerely interested members who serve one year each, and are chosen annually by the school administrators. The entire Lew Wallace community is divided into several districts and at least one member is chosen from each district so that the membership w ill be equally distributed. One half of the members complete their term in February and are replaced by new mem¬ bers, and the other half is replaced in June. The Council is now completing a dozen years of successful operation, which speaks very well for it. During this time many fine things have been accomplished and they have definitely lived up to their aim of promoting better understanding and cooperation between students, their parents, their instructors, and all other members of the community in general. Since this organization plays such an active role in all school problems and activities, we all. students, teachers, and patrols alike, should do everything possible to aid them in their never-ceasing endeavors. Seated: Mrs. I tile. Mrs. Wal h. Mrs. McLar¬ en, Mrs. Brunckhorst, Mrs. Mitch. Standing: Mr. Huber, Mrs. Bowers. Mrs. Kelley. Mrs. Howells, Mr. Seeley.
